Saltimbocca all’Alfredo Recipe

Many cooking forum visitors are interested in finding saltimbocca alla romana recipe. We decided to post this recipe on our web-site. But we made some changes to this popular Roman recipe. The original recipe requires veal (pork in our case) and there is no basil and nutmeg in it. But we kept the basic cooking principle putting Prosciutto ham inside a thin slice of meat and placing a sage leaf on top. Our idea of placing basil leaf inside and using grated nutmeg delighted our guests. They never left a bite of all those juicy and flavorful saltimboccas.
